Mademoiselle ST. AVLAItIi was on the point of marrying some time since, R meuibet• of the illustrious family MONTMOR . ENdY, but her family appears to have preferred personal oietit to thitt of ancestry.— Should my conject we be right, the circumstance may he regarded 'as a - characteristic trait of the public opinion of the French NatiCin. Be this as it in y, this marriage is not looked upon with in- Aifference by any p art y. M: ba Sr. AULAtRE is of the number of those who, possessing an ho nourable name, save frankly and loyally attached themselves to coristitntional principles, and the alliance - that M. i, CAZES contracts %vith his daughter becomes ; for the partizans of the present system, a new guarantee of the perseverance of the Ministry. to maintain the interests of the nation. It would not have been the sattehad he contracted an alliance with some great family known for its opposition to the present order of things. 'I he ftiends of the Charter would have taken umbrage at it they would have feared the influence of a young woman educated in the ha- treil of the present system of Government—and, to a certainty, such a report, whether well or ill founded, would have lost this Mitrister a great number of friends, whom neither the intrigues of the Ultra-. Royalists, nor the violence of the Inde pendeats, have been able to render unpopular. This popnlailty, however, he 'will assuredly lose, if he neglects t• make the Ordonnance of the sth September produce its natural fruit. Resolution and boldness are only required to render, this Or donnonee memorable, • but to make it succeed completely requires profound political views, aided by perseverance ; but hitherto M. DR CAzes has not completely justified the confidence of his 'MAJES TY, or the hopes of the French Nation. SHIP NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 17.—Arrived the Prometheus, from a cruize.

THE PRINCE DE CoNDE.—We have mentioned. in another culuMn, the . demi!' of the Prince of CONDe, who was in the 82d year of his age.—He was born its 1736, two years before his Majesty King GEORGE THE TntsD. He married, at the early period of 15, the Princess CHARLOTTE Of Mohan Soohise, by whom he had - the Due de BounßON, a Prince familiar with many inhabitants of this metropolis, and Mademoiselle de Cortoe.— He commenced his career of arms in the 'Seven Years' %Var., and fought socce•ssfully, say his '''Frtoch biographers, against the Hereditary Prince, afterwards Duke of BatiNsw 'etc. He was named Grand Master of the King's Household, and'Go vernor Of Burgundy, which latter office he held for 35 years, and endeared himself in it to the Burgundians by his liberality From the peace of •176:3, to the breaking out of the Revolntion, he cultivated lett;:rs and literary men. His Sereu- Highness is %veil known to have published lohise tory of the life of his warlike ancestor the " Great CONDE," which is spoken of as a• work of equal modesty and merit. At the opening of . the Revo lution, he .signeel the .fantoos " Membire des p r i n c es ;* addresSed too" the Kit?g, and JniY, 1789, retired from . rance with his family tt? 'Brussels, and thence to Torin. The earlier years of the Ptioce dc Coupe's exile were employed and ennobled by his exploits at the head of the little army of French loyalists, which followed! his ,standard, and bore his name. After the cam paign' of 1800 this corps was disbanded, and the Prine, repaired to England, where he'lived in the _enjoy tent of general respect, until the KING'S , Restoration in 1814. The greater portion of his time, since his return to France, •has been spent, .we believe, at Chantilly. where the Prince inha bited a small building , the wreck (4 . lth:Own an cient and tnagtrificent palace. His town residence was the Valais Bourbon. His mind, since . the murder of his heroic grandson. the Ducd'EN GHIFN, the lost brave branch of a glorious house, had inthidcd a deep tinge of sadness. But from this affliction, he took refuge'in habitual piety, and looked f.or cOmtort where the best comfort is to be found—in the exercise of his religions. ditties, to which he devoetd a. large portion of the latter years of his-life. • He may, without exaggeration or injustice, be entitled a Prince - in the highest degree btaVe and polite , affable, , generous, and pious. , The Due de Bousisors • Was txpeeted hourly its the-French capital. 1 3 eiEttt V. , TO tlig AUTHOR OF THE ANONYMOUS tettEß yo MR.

Al A very spirited portrait of this respectable Nobleman. Thi likeness is exact, and the whole is painted with a neat and elegant pencil. Mr. lint um's succeeds as Well in figures'of this small size as he does in those of large dimensions, and in both be always displays vigour, taste, and accuracy. 164, Por:raitt of F. Larit, Eag. and a favourite Hunter. J. WA11, , , R. A. Very few Artists combine as many powers as we find in Mr. WARD. 'He paints human portraits with fidelity and spirit; he is Without a rival in the representation of inferior animals, particularly Horses and Dogs; he displays considerable merit its a Landscape Painter, and he seems to possess a pregnant genius for Allegory. We presume that this is a good likeness of the Gentleman here represented, but the Artist seems par , ticularly io have attended to the Hunter. We hardly ever before saw a happier specimen of the distribution of waving light than over this animal. In fact, it seems to be real na tore upon a reduced scale. It is, indeed, an adriiirable work of art. The Landscape is also an animated view of natural scenery. 194. Flew on the Thames, near Chertsey Bridge. W. DANIEL, A. Considering the great merit of this Artist, and the liberality of the leading Members of the Academic Body, we are much surprised that he should remain upon the Associate list, as he has decidedly claims far the full honours of the Instittr tion. The able instructions of his uncle, his own powerful talents, and long experience, have raised him to an eminence from which the step seems to be easy into the dignity of R.A. This is a very pleasing view of rustic scenery, diversified with water, buildings, &c. &c., and has very few rival productions in the room. 303. The Fifth of .V , iverither. W.-F. WITHERINGTON. We predicted, on seeing the first specimen of this Artist's talents several years ago, that he would become a good Land scape Painter in the representation of lOcal scenery, if he did ttot-xise to poetical dignity. In the scene before us, how ever, his talents seem to have taken another direction. This is a diverting scene, and is by no means without interest.-- The sportive agents • hovering about the old man who is about to contribute'towards the anniversary destruction o. Guit rata., are all in aniniated action, and there is an ex good-Iturnoured benevolence in the face of thin. verxrable donor that strews the kr tist it anaecurate observer: The.picture is highly creditable to his talents.

It is evidently a trans!;itiOn from Moliere, which was first translated by BET- TEHTON, the great Actor in the time of Queen A rse, and represented under the name of The Amorous Widow, or Wanton Wife, in . 1706, and was reduced into a farce many years ago, at this very Theatre: It is surprising that the ;\la nagers should have overlooked this %veil-known fact.
